Information technology engineer Emelio Anglés of Kellogg Company
is part of the Smart Factory project to digitalize all of
Kellogg's manufacturing plants. He describes the different stages
of this multi-year project to move from siloed PLCs using 5
different protocols to a single source of all data using a single
protocol. Among the benefits he describes are a 50% reduction in
mean time between failure on packing lines, a reduction of energy
use over 15 years, and shortening production meetings from 45
minutes to as little as 15 minutes. Kellogg's can compare the
efficiency of cereal plants from around the world using a single
source of data.
